Editorial Review: The Dead Don’t Drink At Lafitte’s by Seana Kelly | ManyBooks

The Dead Don’t Drink At Lafitte’s, by Seana Kelly, is the second in an engaging, character-driven urban fantasy trilogy. Sam Quinn, part werewolf and part wicche, is definitely an unusual resident of a vampire’s nocturne. But it makes sense to stay over at her boyfriend, Clive’s, as Sam rebuilds her life after the dramatic events of the first novel, and physically rebuilds her bar, The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar.

Although this is the second book of Sam Quinn’s adventures, fans of supernatural fantasy will be able to follow the plot perfectly well without reading the first book. When this novel opens, Sam’s already got some reliable and loyal friends, as well as some surprising other supernatural connections, and reading the first book will deepen those connections and explain more about friend and foe. Otherwise, these work more as tantalizing hints about other supernatural lifestyles, all just below the surface of our world.
